Chapter 104: Happening Again
Ava never went to school, but maybe this is how a student feels when working on assignments from her teacher. Let alone the state of the girl now, he felt as if he had directly jumped into college. Dizzying.
After going back and forth through the recipe journals and blueprints that Ava made, she was confused about what to do to satisfy the king's ambitions. Wouldn't an act of terrorism like this be better handled by uprooting the root of the problem? Wasn't Marvin trying to find the radical group with the devil's logo from the testimony of the perpetrator who was arrested? Should enough. After all, the modus operandi used was to sacrifice one of their members to explode with another person, aka a suicide bomb. While identifying suspicious people the biggest responsibility should fall to the security guards.
Was he given this task because Ava managed to catch the perpetrator disguised as the coachman of his horse carriage? But it was all thanks to the paranoid feeling that made him activate the observation skill simultaneously to everyone.
... But the king certainly did not know that.
King Dion considers himself Eve who is unable to use magic because of which heart is problematic, not the dopplegangger of the princess who although their appearance is identical set of abilities are much different. So it's appropriate if Eve's father mistakenly thinks that he is wearing an artifact that can be used for the current situation.
And of course, that caused problems for Ava.
The girl had spent days in Eve's office, she only went out to shower and eat. Ava fell asleep almost every time. The only person Ava interacts with is Ellijah who is happy to deliver food since the man knows that his (fake) fiancee did not have time to eat on the first day.
Ava let out a long breath, leaned back into the chair, then stretched her body. He then drank the tea is still warm, Ellijah just poured the cup. I don't know why that guy has been her servant lately. But no one protested, maybe they were used to the princess who was free to tell the Duke.
It was then that he realized that the day had welcomed the night. Ava's gaze then turned to the corner of the room, passing by Ellijah's blue bead that had been silent.
How could he be that calm for hours ignored.
If this is what Eve and Ellijah's routine is like, isn't .. sad?
The girl knew herself well, and she knew her bad side.
If Ava has intense feelings like love, obsession, even hate, she will not be silent. In any way he would get the attention of his target, forcing them to acknowledge his existence at all times, after which acting according to his impulses, whether it was declaring a squeeze or killing the opponent.
While Ava was still far away in her mind, that was when the old clock in the room chimed, signifying midnight.
Dengs! Dengs! Dengs!
Suddenly his hand convulsed, the tea cup he was holding fell over, broke and scattered on the floor.
He gasped, but the sensation was still familiar.
Ava looked at her hand with horror.
Palm glitching. Again.
"What's wrong?" Ellijah who had just quietly raised her voice, was worried.
By reflex, Ava hid her hands behind her back. "It's okay. We should sleep, it's midnight." Without waiting for a reply, he took a thousand steps.
